Abstract excerpt
The East Asian finless porpoise, Neophocaena asiaeorientalis sunameri, is an endangered species that inhabits the coastal marine environments of East Asia. In the present study, we investigated the overall infection status of anisakid nematodes in East Asian finless porpoises from three sea sectors off the Korean Peninsula. The genetic diversity and population genetic structure of the identified nematode species...
